Read the first 6 PCEP Numeric Types and Arithmetic flashcards as text

  1. What is the output of `abs(-15)`?

    Answer: 15

    `abs()` returns the absolute value of a number, which is always non-negative.

  2. Which of the following is a valid Python complex number literal?

    Answer: 3+4j

    Python uses `j` (not `i`) as the imaginary unit; `3+4j` is a valid complex literal.

  3. What does `int(3.9)` return?

    Answer: 3

    `int()` truncates toward zero, discarding the fractional part, so `int(3.9)` gives 3.

  4. What is the result of `10 % 3`?

    Answer: 1

    10 divided by 3 is 3 remainder 1, so the modulo operation returns 1.

  5. What is the output of `float('3.14')`?

    Answer: 3.14

    `float()` converts a string representation of a decimal number to a float value.

  6. Which operator performs integer (floor) division in Python?

    Answer: //

    `//` is the floor division operator; it divides and floors the result to the nearest integer.
